Book Summary

Copy from the ANS Library.

Published by the Numismatic Society of Philadelphia and distributed by Edward Cogan. Q. David Bowers notes in American Numismatics Before the Civil War (p. 88): "Apparently Hodge and his co-authors ventured in territory beyond their collective expertise, for the study, begun in 1858, was wildly condemned as useless."
